I have an iPhone 4S (v5.1.1, jailbroken with Absinthe). I have been having lots of trouble with iTunes Match lately. Sometimes when I download a song, it will not play in the iPod player. I tap a song, and it plays the next file instead of the one I selected.

Using iFile, I verified that the file has actually downloaded to the filesystem (/var/mobile/Media/Purchases), and opened it from there using iFile's built-in audio player. It plays here, but there are gaps in the music (i.e. the first 2 seconds play, 30 seconds of silence, song resumes, 2 seconds of silence, resume, etc).

Has anyone else seen behavior like this? What could possibly be causing this? It happened on a fresh install of 5.1.1, before I jailbroke my phone, and has continued.

What happens if you redownload the file on the iPhone? Or on your computer? – patrix♦ Jun 9 '12 at 16:33
If I delete the file and redownload, it usually works. It happens with matched songs, not just uploaded ones. – Thomas Jun 9 '12 at 16:39
The gaps mean that the file has not downloaded properly. Delete it and download it again. – Randolph West Jun 10 '12 at 2:56
Thanks for the reply Randolph. I realize that the file didn't download properly. Just wondering why that is happening so often for me. – Thomas Jun 11 '12 at 14:58
